First introduced in 1953, the Chevrolet Corvette has made a name for itself over the years. It is known for being one of the top sports cars in the industry and it has the track record to prove it. Corvettes have become collector’s items in the classic car world. The original models are especially rare; only 300 models were produced in 1953. The 2017 Corvette Grand Sport packs a punch with a 6.2-liter V8 engine with up to 460 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque, taking it from 0 to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds. Its speed and longevity earned the Grand Sport a spot as the Pace Car for this year’s Indy 500.

Still dominating the roads in 2017 is the Chevrolet Impala. This classic full-size sedan has been around since 1958. More than anything, the Impala is known for its dependability and affordability. In 2016, the Impala was named the “Best Large Car for the Money” by U.S. News & World Report. The 2017 model, featured above, allows for plenty of storage and breathing room; if the 18.8 cubic feet of trunk space isn’t enough, the vehicle comes with standard 60/40-split folding rear seats for further storage space. In addition to its time on the road over the years, the 1967 Impala has been heavily featured on-screen in the hit TV show Supernatural.

The Chevrolet Malibu, first introduced in 1964, has been completely redesigned over the years, going through another complete redesign in 2016. The Malibu was originally marketed as a premium sedan, catering to families in need of a new vehicle. However, as sports cars and muscle cars came to the forefront of the market, the Malibu developed a sleeker look. The 2017 model comes in five different trim levels, allowing you to customize it to your liking. The Malibu has been establishing its reputation as a reliable mid-size sedan for decades.
